Many Tucson headshot requests I get from business owners are looking for somethign different – and unique – which means getting away from the indoor studio setting with the plain white walls. Of course, sometimes you want that simple setting – it’s classic for a reason. Maybe you need it for your business card, or your industry requires at least one basic photo of you for their website. But when you REALLY want to stand out from the crowd, going outside is the way to go.
A Tucson headshot can be done anywhere you can think of in the city and beyond. From the desert, to the mountains, to downtown to the lakes. The same rules and planning apply as they do for any photo sessions that I do – we talk about light, time of day, location, clothing and style. In fact, many of the Tucson headshot sessions that I do turn into personal branding sessions.
What is a personal branding session? I am SO glad you asked! It’s a much more thought-out approach to a business headshot. It is built on a conversation that starts with the same building blocks – color, location, time of day, clothing, style – but goes more in depth into your brand, and brand identity. Ultimately as a Tucson business person, or business owner, you are your brand. It doesn’t matter if you are selling insurance, real estate, or Mary Kay – your product may be defined for you, but you yourself are the difference. You are what people come back for – not your product (which they could get from other representatives in your industry). If your personality is a winning one, you have a loyal client for life.
But how do you get that client in the door first? Think about it – unless you are persaonlly rcomenneded, most people shopping are looing online. Not always to buy, but looking for the person they can buy lcoally from. And what would make them stop and take more than 3 seconds to look at your website or social feed before moving on to the next Google search retyurn? The PHOTOGRAPHS of course!
What do the photos of you – or your products – say about you to the persona looking online? Do they tell the story of you? Your brand? Do they set you apart from others in your industry? If not, it’s time to give me a call…because a personal business branding session is exactly what you need!
